Has anyone experimented yet? I mean, in a WvWvW-PvE environment, since PvP doesn’t allow that much of gear customization.

With the arrival of the Celestial gear with all-stat bonuses and cheap crit damage, I think it would be possible to make some strong of condition-power hybrid builds for Thief, expecially when we consider that the highest damage set (D/D) is also the best bleed-applier set.

I thought about something with heavy accent on evasion with Death Blossom and Acrobatics, some Trickery for vigor and Critical Strikes, but I’ve just started the theorycraft.

Has anyone idea of any good hybrid build?
Let the thoughts flow! :P

PS: please, refrain to make posts like “Conditions are bad on thief”, “D/D sux” or whatsoever.

p/d might stack from signet with berserk gear.

Thieves have no opportunity might receive. So a hybrid build is always worse than a focused build.

Actually, there are quite some ways to stack might.
Stealth, on dodge, on venom activation…

I run a sort of Power/condi build on full carrion pretty much. 25/0/30/15/0

I don’t really play my thief in Spvp but in WvW it works pretty good, 1v1 is more than manageable against all but some of the tankier and well skilled opponents, I can survive in and around zergs fairly well. I started using this build to give baddies a chance against me, which is why I usually don’t run stunbreakers, but I find it to be a pretty strong build actually. Hybrid builds are better than most “focused builds” IMO.
